You’ve never seen a neighborhood so happy to witness the opening of a grocery store. Farmer Joe’s is no ordinary grocer. It’s more the lux of grocers, meaning a good breadth of organic and vegan foods, green household supplies, a deli, a bakery, a fresh meat counter, and a farmer-style fruit and veggies section. I think their offering may be less expensive than Wholefoods as well. (Data is based on my very scientific approach… looking at my receipts.)

They DO have a lot of expired inventory on their shelves. The store does seem a little untidy most of the time. They are more expensive than even Whole Paycheck. (Their cheese is ridiculous)
Their meat counter, especially seafood, looks unsafe. I still buy it, but the meat looks like it was cut with a saw. It is often grey too.
I am responsible for a church picnic and choose to purchase all of the items at FJ’s. I wish they would do a little bit more to make it a little less painful to shop there.
Expensive/expired/grey seafood doesn’t seem to be a good use of anyone’s money.
There’s more, but we’ll see if anyone even reads this! :)

Before Farmer Joe’s Dimond opened, many of us made the pilgrimage to Laurel to shop at Farmer Joe’s. It is definitely not the same store any longer. The Laurel store is the original, and it has a quaint persona versus the slick one of Dimond’s.

DIMOND | Great meat selection with competitive pricing. You go to Wayland for the friendly service and to support a business that has been in the family and on MacArthur for the past 40 years.
Read the interview with Wayland.
